2020 Map of Teshekpuk D-5 SW

About this map

Meade River and Topagoruk River define this remote Arctic landscape on the North Slope. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of thaw lakes and coastal wetlands, typical of the permafrost-underlain tundra. This 2020 edition reveals the intricate drainage patterns where the river channels wind through low-lying plains. The absence of roads or established settlements highlights the environmental continuity of this region, which remains largely shaped by seasonal hydrological cycles. Researchers and cartography enthusiasts can examine the precise township and range boundaries, such as t17n r15w, which grid this expanse of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska.
